Company profile
Origin
AESA SA was created in 1978 as the specialised measurement laboratory of the Cable Works of Cortaillod, Switzerland. In 1998, AESA became independent and is now owned by private investors close to the company. During this period, AESA has earned a high reputation for quality and reliability worldwide.
In 2007 AESA acquired business assets from MEA Mauf und Rudow GmbH. Both business activities are now fully integrated and AESA Cortaillod is the undisputed leader in measurement and quality management for telecommunications and power cables.
Its head office is located in Colombier by the side of lake Neuchâtel in a beautiful part of Switzerland. Branch offices are in Bergisch Gladbach near Köln and Stolberg near Aachen.
